Syracuse Orange

One of the top defensive linemen in the transfer portal has picked Syracuse. Texas A&M defensive lineman Fadil Diggs committed to the Orange, he announced on social media. The 6-5, 260 pounder has one year of eligibility remaining. Last season, Diggs recorded 36 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and four sacks. 

“First off, I would like to thank Texas A&M and the 12th Man for an incredible four years in College Station,” Diggs said in a statement when he announced his decision to transfer. “Secondly, I would like to thank coach Fisher, coach Elko, Coach Price, coach (Robinson) and all of the coaches during my journey in affording a young kid from Camden, New Jersey an opportunity to play big-time football in the SEC, which has been a dream come true.

“It has been a true honor to be a team captain for the past two years, on and off the field, and I am thankful for my teammates for inspiring me to become the leader I am today. With that said, I will be entering my name into the transfer portal. I will be starting a new chapter of my own in hopes to continue to elevate at another destination.”

Diggs was an elite recruit when he signed with Texas A&M as part of the 2020 recruiting class. Diggs was considered a four star recruit ranked in the top 200 players overall and top 11 at his position.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
